That don't makes the parachute a useless item. It makes the parachute user clueless about its proper usage.

I voted for Trump and am honestly terrified for 4 years of Harris (I lost my Mom to dementia 2 years ago and I can say with 90%ish certainty that Biden has it and won't live to see 1 year as President) but at this point I just want this election be done regardless of who wins. It seems safe to say that after all the legal brouhaha that "Biden" will win and better to rip the bandage off now than to keep falesly hoping Trump will miraculously pull a win out of his ass. I am not looking forward to $5.00 a gallon gas and $300 electric bills again (Like in the "good old days" of Obama/Biden). Not looking forward to more wars, more being used by china.... Etc. All of this will happen over the next 4 years. On the plus side Republicans should take back the House 2 years from now and there are no lack of good Republican candidates to take the Presidency back in 4 years. God help us all.

I'll be brief: Reagan--Alzheimer's. Probably had it before even being re-elected a second term; definitely had it before leaving office; within the realm of possibility he had early stages before even running for President.

Otherwise, if Biden has to step down early, what is Harris going to do that ol' Mitch isn't going to stop? Unless the Dems win all of the undecided Senate seats (4 still undecided at the time I post this), the GOP retains majority, which means McConnell will likely remain as Senate majority leader, and continue to pull his same bullshit tricks of the "do nothing" Senate.

A perhaps more befitting voting system for the Facebook and Twitter generations of today.

Wow.
That's a nice and interesting change. The major news networks cutting off Trump in his "Presidential" 'fraud, fraud, fraud' press conferences.
Lol.

Not too surprising, been obvious for few days actually!
Without covid trump would have won I'm certain.
No time to party anyway, what will biden do during his rule? At least the population of USA is more divided than in a long time!
